SIMPLIFIED & STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING
Built for Nonprofits. Structured to Scale With Your Mission.
At Chicago Bookkeeping Solutions LLC, we specialize in nonprofit financial operations, from monthly bookkeeping and grant tracking to Form 990 filing and financial reporting. Every service is built for 501(c)(3) organizations operating in the real world: program-funded, audit-conscious, and mission-driven.
Monthly bookkeeping is the foundation. It establishes accurate books, aligned to both your programs and your Form 990 reporting structure. Everything else, bill pay, budgeting, tax preparation, grant reporting, builds on that foundation. Services are scoped to what your organization actually needs, not packaged for what sounds comprehensive.
CORE MONTHLY SERVICE
Reliable Monthly Bookkeeping is the Foundation of Everything We Do
Every engagement begins with monthly bookkeeping: reconciliations, categorized transactions, and Financial Operations Reporting delivered to your client portal. Whether you’re preparing for a grant application or approaching your annual Form 990, accurate and well-structured books are the foundation everything else builds on.
SPECIALIZED ADD-ON SERVICES
Bill Payments & Invoicing
Outgoing bills and vendor payments managed through a secure approval workflow. Designed for nonprofits handling grant reimbursements, contractor invoices, or multi-approver payment processes.
Tax Prep & Filing
Form 990 preparation and e-filing, including the Illinois AG990 where applicable. Because your books are structured to align with 990 reporting from the start, year-end filing is a natural extension of the work already done, not a separate cleanup project.
Budgeting & Forecasting
Funder-ready budgets, multi-scenario forecasts, and budget-to-actual reporting built around your programs and funding sources. Useful for grant applications, board presentations, and annual planning.
Custom Reporting
Board financial packets, program-level expense reports, and grant budget summaries tailored to your funders and governance requirements. If a report exists that your board or funders need, we build it.
Your Tech Stack: Built for Modern Nonprofit Operations
Nonprofits need more than spreadsheets and scattered logins. We help you implement and manage a connected financial tech stack that supports your mission, simplifies compliance, and saves time.
Our core platforms, such as QuickBooks Online, Melio, GiveButter and the secure client portal, are tailored to your specific needs and scaled to your operations. Most tools can be managed directly by your team, but we and full-service support to keep everything running smoothly.
The right tech stack reduces manual reconciliation, keeps your books audit-ready, and removes the administrative bottleneck between you and your financial data.
